North Stand Construction Discussion

I think it looks class.

From other angles you'd still get the bowl aesthetic and then heading towards the South Stand you get a huge area for retail/hospitality to create a fan zone.

The 2tier stand looks absolutely monstrous. Exactly what we have wanted and called for. They've managed to create two distinct areas which means on non-footballing days you are in a purpose built leisure area and on football days you've got that plus a superb stadium to enjoy.

I work in planning so used to these conceptual images, it's just to pretend things aren't set in stone yet so people don't get too angry at things. The CGI's show the quality of it.

We'll have by far the best stadium in league 2. Harrogate Town fans are in for a treat.

Now membership of the Harrogate Blues is over 200, we will need our own block in the away end lol.

The detailed plans are 100% ready to submit along with all supporting protocols.

The CAD renders are superb and bear no relationship to the drawings on here,which themselves are very accurate.

An announcement was made in THE NATIONAL in Abu Dhabi this morning (GMT+4) but has subsequently been taken down from their website.

It's bubbling !!

The important thing now is to engage with the consultation process and put your views into the final decisions !!

That looks amazing. Having the arena next door lit of in sky blue on night matches as well will really add to the setting.

Why are people complaining already? These are just the first basic drawings and images.

FFS, wait until the CGI's are made public.

The forum is not nicknamed Bluemoan for nothing. I pit it down to the Manchester weather but there are a lot of right miserable moaning barstewards on this forum. Imagine having to work or live with them.....

Can’t wait personally. Not sure if I’ll move into NS L2 or stay in 101.

Tell you what if we were offered free S/C's people would find a moan about something.

There's a proper fanny part of our fanbase.

Commonly known as the fannybase.

Thanks for posting those, I like the look of the middle one.

Great news about the expanded second tier. The construction outside looks rather crude but I'm sure it would be easier on the eye in real life and are probably floating a few ideas about how it would appear visually.

Does anybody have a more accurate figure as to what it would get our capacity up to? There are a few grounds around the 60k mark and yes I am that petty I'd like to trump them.

WOW !!!!

I’d imagine the stand/extra seats will be available around a season before the external sections are completed.

Ground works start - spring/summer 2023.

Construction - early 2024.

New seating available - Summer 2025

New city plaza/hotel etc - Summer 2026

At least on the CGIs it looks like they'll finally replace the blue bulbs on top of the masts...

That is seriously impressive

Exciting stuff guys and gals, can we not just discuss it and leave the moaners to moan it's what they do best. As my Grandad would say "they are more too be pittied than blamed"
So the consultaion will be online or do we go down and see a scaled model exhibition type thing?

Most of these moaning cunts infest the matchday thread.

They don't go to games and won't be going when another 8000 tickets are available.

Attention seekers who are best ignored !!

Clearly a bigger development than I was expecting, incorporating the hotel ala Chelsea into the stand. Just going to make it a great destination, a bit like the Ajax/Amsterdam Arena area which is buzzing pre and post matches . Gets a from me.

Knnel! I wondered where my etch a sketch had gone.
